Hello, everyone,
I am new to Bitcoin, and I recently received a Bitcoin transaction on get. The transaction seems legitimate, because the customer of mine showed me a transaction receipt from an ATM and my wallet address written on it, but they require me to log in their website, create and account and verify my ID & SSN in order to claim the bitcoin to my wallet, which makes no sense to me smh. I am not sure if the website is trustworthy and i found nearly NADA info regarding it over the web. I am hesitant to accept the transaction until I know for sure that the platform is legit.
Has anyone used getcoinsmarket.com before? Is it a reliable platform for Bitcoin transactions? How can I verify the authenticity of the transaction and ensure that it is not a scam?
This is what I think. You do not need to subscribe to a site given to you by a customer to receive the bitcoin he claimed to have sent to you. It is most probably a scam. Even relying on a receipt from an ATM is not a guarantee that it was sent. You can ask him to show you the transaction on the blockchain, not an ATM receipt. Another red light is the site asking you to release your private documents and data. The getcoinsmarket.com site you mentioned, it is my first hearing it. I advise you avoid doing anything with such an unknown site asking you for your private information.
